crackers Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I actually am glad that Zidane won the Golden Ball. I think he actually deserves more for the best TKO I've ever seen in a football match. I couldn't stop laughing. If Materazzi actual said what the Brazilian TV's lip readers said, then I wish ZZ had stomped on him after the TKO. Best part of the final.

catbirdseat Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Words are just words. The Team Captain has to keep that in perspective and stay in the game to lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olyclimber Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I want some of the "Magic Spray" they put on injured players so they could keep playing. I'd like to stick my head in a bucket of it this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshK Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 http://francefighter.ytmnd.com/ I liked the headbutt - it added excitement to a game that I otherwise just can't find entertainment in. Too many 1-0 and 1-1 games. Any sport where you can play the entire world finals match to a tie then have the game decided by stupid penalty kicks doesn't sit well with me. It's as bad as the regular season NFL overtime rules where winning a coinflip essentially gives you a 2-1 advantage in winning the game.

catbirdseat Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 To anyone paying attention, the game actually had some exciting moments. Those guys are amazing athletes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I have no fundamental problems with soccer, i just don't find it very exciting. It's like blue balls - plenty of excitment but then the constant dissapointment of not actually scoring. Maybe that makes winning on penalty kicks the sporting equivilent of getting a handjob?

slothrop Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Pay closer attention. Each team gets five penalty kicks and then it goes to sudden death PKs. That's not at all like winning a cointoss for first possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not at all like winning a cointoss for first possession. No, but it's still an unsatisfactory end to a complete game - a game that involves way more than taking set up kicks at a goal. I think of it this way - if the entire game was a penalty kick contest would it be interesting? No. A championship game should be played until completion, be it an extra 30 minutes or 3 hours.
